- Abstract: While humans increasingly rely on large language models (LLMs), they are susceptible to generating inaccurate or false information, also known as "hallucinations". Technical advancements have been made in algorithms that detect hallucinated content by assessing the factuality of the model's responses and attributing sections of those responses to specific source documents. However, there is limited research on how to effectively communicate this information to users in ways that will help them appropriately calibrate their trust toward LLMs. To address this issue, we conducted a scenario-based study (N=104) to systematically compare the impact of various design strategies for communicating factuality and source attribution on participants' ratings of trust, preferences, and ease in validating response accuracy. Our findings reveal that participants preferred a design in which phrases within a response were color-coded based on the computed factuality scores. Additionally, participants increased their trust ratings when relevant sections of the source material were highlighted or responses were annotated with reference numbers corresponding to those sources, compared to when they received no annotation in the source material. Our study offers practical design guidelines to facilitate human-LLM collaboration and it promotes a new human role to carefully evaluate and take responsibility for their use of LLM outputs.

- Understanding the Relationship between Prompts and Response Uncertainty in Large Language Models [55.332004960574004]
Large language models (LLMs) are widely used in decision-making, but their reliability, especially in critical tasks like healthcare, is not well-established.
This paper investigates how the uncertainty of responses generated by LLMs relates to the information provided in the input prompt.
We propose a prompt-response concept model that explains how LLMs generate responses and helps understand the relationship between prompts and response uncertainty.

We show that prompting-based rationales align better with human-annotated rationales than attribution-based rationales.
We additionally find that the faithfulness limitations of prompting-based methods, which are identified in previous work, may be linked to their collapsed predictions.

This study investigates how uncertainty scores vary when scientific knowledge is incorporated as pretraining and retrieval data.
We observe that an existing RALM finetuned with scientific knowledge as the retrieval data tends to be more confident in generating predictions.
We also found that RALMs are overconfident in their predictions, making inaccurate predictions more confidently than accurate ones.

Our findings reveal that while retrieval aids factuality evaluation, current LLMs are far from satisfactory to faithfully detect factual errors.
